Here is my situation. I have a list on a user's account that is not view able in the topics or profiles (hidden). Is there a way I can change the background of the posts based on what is selected in this list? I cannot find the list identifier, nor do I know how to reference what one is selected.

Please tell me this can be done. If not, what would be another way I could reference a profile field that is hidden to change the background of the user's posts. I'm only looking to change the color.

EDIT: I've got that working for the most part. The thing I am having an issue with now is changing the color of the posts. How would I change the color to be like this forum? Where it is a gradient and is behind all text and images, and only for specific people?

not sure exactly what you mean, can you post a screen shot.

other then that you do know you can use any images where the image links are in the css right. So not sure if this is what you mean or not, there dose not really seem to be many steps to the tutorial and i dint see anything about colors, but will look again.

I suppose a better way to describe my issues is that I am trying to change the colors of the posts based on certain things. I've got the addressing correct. But when I change the color, it covers some of the pictures and doesn't color the entire post (just the text).

You can see the example in the following picture. The "online" identifier is covered y the color and it doesn't cover the entire post, jsut the text.What i"m looking for is to color the entire thing (Post body and post profile) the whole box.

You can try this to have color backgrounds, however i am not sure if it will correspond with the java script or not you will have to test it.

right now FFFFFF is White and 000000 is black. so try using this css instead of the one leeloo has with the images, it is the same thing i just edited the background color in in stead of background image. but like i said i am not sure if it will work with the java script or not. i will try to test it on my test forum as well.

Code:

.fa_postbody_xy{ background-color: #FFFFFF;min-height: 500px;}

.fa_postbody_xx { background-color: #000000;min-height: 500px;}

Oh you basically did the same thing, just be sure to have the min-height: 500px; in there. and you may just have to tweak/adjust the px a little to fill it in as you need it.

or you can always add a color image in the image css code that leeloo has, if you have the exact color code >>> example #000000; Post them here and i can make a couple images of the colors.

I haven't though of using a picture for the color. That could work, I'll try that and get back here with my results. Do you know how I could affect the entire post (post profile and postbody) without the border that we see around the color?

what you mean the same color behind the profile and post.well yeah you would just have to set your table rows in either the colors list or doing it with css, but it will always be that color and not the same effect that leeloo has for it only showing when posting. i will have to test a few things, your using phpbb3 okie.
